I don't own Mortal Kombat!
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute, it's love
And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield
One word turns into a war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield, can't go back, now
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it, now
I never meant to start a war
You know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield
A battlefield
A battlefield

Dead and Gone
Cassie lifted her head up, her orange eyes glowing menacingly. The revenant part had taken over, the real Cassandra Cage lost. Any hope of saving her was gone with it. She started at Shinnok, who nodded.
Cassie's face remained devoid of any emotion whatsoever. She disappeared in green light, determined to finish the Earthrealmers this time.
Earthrealm
Sonya walked through the portal, Johnny slouching on her shoulder. She held onto him as medics rushed over. They gently took him off of Sonya and placed his body on a rolling bed. They rushed away with him and Sonya looked after them sadly.
Sonya turned around and walked back through the portal. Kung Jin was kneeling down and picking up Takeda, who was unconscious. Kung Jin himself had taken an attack mentally if anything. How he'd gotten over it so quickly, Sonya had not the slightest idea. She turned to her right swiftly and saw Jacqui laying on the ground.
She walked over to her and picked her up. Jacqui stirred slightly, her eyes cracking open. She looked at Sonya, who kept her eyes focused on what was in front of her. Jacqui leaned on Sonya's shoulder and limped over to the portal.
Jacqui, Sonya, Kung Jin, and Takeda walked through the portal. Takeda and Jacqui limped and seemed to be fading in and out of consciousness. Nobody spoke.
Sonya knew how Takeda felt. She almost knew, but not entirely. It was how she felt when Johnny was stabbed by Jax. When she almost lost him and when he almost became one of Shinnok's mindless slaves. Never had she imagined such an awful fate for her own daughter.
She watched as Takeda waved Kung Jin off and limped weakly down the hall. Her expression, which was always serious and stern, softened. She walked Jacqui down to the small clinic room. Jacqui and Takeda had been both physically and mentally harmed.
Sonya laid Jacqui down on a hospital bed. Jacqui slowly fell unconscious again, her eyes closing. Sonya informed a doctor of the new arrival and took off.
She walked down the hall where Takeda had gone. And, from information Jacqui had given her, knew to pass his room and continue onward. She stopped at Cassie's door, raising her hand to knock. When she received no response, she opened the door and walked in.
Takeda stood by the window, staring off blankly. He still held the faded photo in his hand. Sonya sighed, closing her eyes and shaking her head.
''Takashi'' she started, walking up behind him.
Upon seeing her reflection in the window, he turned to face the General. Sonya sighed once more before speaking.
''Takashi, I know how you feel.'' She said.
''And how is that?'' he asked, not in a mean way, but more calmed.
''Years ago, when Shinnok was first released… when the revenant Jax stabbed Johnny through the chest. When he almost died. It's hard to see a loved one suffer, I know.'' She explained calmly.
''Cassie isn't close to death. She's already dead. A revenant.'' Takeda stated angrily.
''Takashi'' Sonya said in a stern tone that would make even the strongest warriors tremble in fear.
''I'm her mother. If you don't think I'm upset over this, too, think again. You're not the only one who's mad about this. The whole team is.'' she said, a little more calmed.
Takeda sighed, but nodded. Sonya nodded as well, putting a hand on his shoulder.
''We will get her back.'' She said.
Suddenly, screams could be heard from down the hall. Sonya and Takeda quickly ran to open the door and see what was happening. And what they saw shocked them.
Dead bodies littered the floor, while blood pooled beneath them. And among all of them stood Cassie. She was murdering a guard. She held him in a choke hold while he struggled at his throat, but to no avail. She put her other hand up and snapped his neck. He stopped struggling and fell to the ground, dead like the rest.
''Cassie…'' Takeda whispered quietly.
Cassie's head snapped up. She stared at him, her face blank and emotionless. Her eyes narrowed. She disappeared in a green flash of light. Takeda and Sonya looked around wildly, but there were no signs of where she was.
Of all times to attack, it had to be now. When everyone was still recovering. Cassie reappeared in another flash of light behind Takeda. She quickly put her arm around his throat and pulled out a knife.
Sonya's eyes widened as she looked in pure horror at her daughter. Cassie stared back at her while Takeda struggled to get free. Sonya pulled out her gun and aimed at Cassie, who was unfazed by her. Her only reaction was holding up the knife to Takeda's throat.
''Cassie…please.'' Sonya begged her.
Cassie glared at her, not moving or responding. After a moment, she lowered her blade. Sonya started to lower her gun, but a swift movement from Cassie stopped her.
Sonya gasped, seeing Cassie stab Takeda in the chest. She fired her gun as Takeda fell to the floor. Cassie held her hand up and the bullet stopped in mid-air. It glowed green and turned itself around.
Cassie's hand shot forward, as did the bullet. It quickly implanted itself in Sonya's chest and she fell to the ground. Noise could be heard coming from down the hall.
The source of all the noise rushed around the corner a few moments later. More Special Forces guards. Cassie disappeared in green light and reappeared quickly behind the group.
''Look out!'' Sonya was able to get out, although she was weak.
The guards turned around to find Cassie. The guards that were in front of her were immediately slaughtered. Their dead bodies fell to the floor.
The rest of the men took out their guns and aimed at her. They didn't hesitate for a single moment and fired. Cassie glowed green and deflected all the bullets.
She kneed a guard in the stomach, then gave him an uppercut. He flew back while Cassie took on another guard. She kicked him in the stomach, punched him in the nose, and threw him at the other guards, knocking them over. She walked over to the one she had attacked earlier. He was slouched against a wall, making him an easy target. Cassie took out her gun and shot him. She then turned around and shot all the other guards. Hurried footfalls echoed throughout the hall. Kung Jin followed a few seconds later. He eyes widened at the scene.
''Cage, you need to stop. This isn't you.'' He tried to reason with her.
Cassie didn't speak, but aimed her gun at him. She pulled the trigger. Kung Jin ducked just in time and pulled out his bow and arrow.
He took aim and fired. It hit Cassie in the chest. She looked down at her wound, which was beginning to bleed. Her head snapped back up as she ripped the arrow out of her chest. The hole began to mend itself together. She dropped the bloody arrow to the ground and glared at him menacingly.
''Gotta stop doing that. Why does it never work?'' he asked himself, rather annoyed by the fact.
Cassie ran at him and punched him in the stomach. Then she shoved her hand inside his chest and ripped out his heart. Kung Jin fell to the ground, a pool of blood forming beneath him.
Cassie held the blood dripping heart in her hand. It beat once, then stopped.
She dropped it to the ground and walked away, towards Jacqui and Johnny's location.
With Jacqui and Johnny
Jacqui and Johnny both were laying on hospital beds within the Special Forces Base. Jacqui opened her eyes, somehow sensing that something was wrong. Had she imagined that scream in her head? Another scream came, alerting Jacqui that it was real. She sat up. The doctors and nurses had treated her wounds nicely. She felt no pain when she swung her legs over the side of the bed.
Jacqui stood up and walked to see what had happened. When she was just a step away from the door, it flew off it's hinges. Jacqui quickly ducked and dodged it. She looked to find who had done that, only to find Cassie.
Her eyes widened and she took slow and cautious steps backwards. She kept going until she ended up next to Johnny's bed. She looked down worriedly on him. She looked back to Cassie, who walked towards her.
What she did next shocked Jacqui beyond belief. Cassie held something in her hand. Upon closer inspection, it was a heart. At that point Jacqui nearly fainted. It wasn't because of the heart itself, it was the fact that it was beating. Cassie dropped it on the ground and it stopped beating.
Jacqui could read Cassie's expression clearly. And what it said was ''You're next''
